	Polish Music Journal 4.1.01 - Schubert: The American Film Scores of Henry Vars
		For many American films made during the 1930s through the 1950s, a single composer for a dramatic score was often the exception rather than the rule.
		His last score was for McLaglen's Fool's Parade, starring Jimmy Stewart, made in 1971 (these cues are now housed at the American Heritage Center at the University of Wyoming, Laramie).
		[2] Vars moved to the United States in 1947, and eventually composed music for many American films as well as several television shows.

	INSIDE BOOKS (Charles Templeton Memoir)
		Despite the benefits that flowed from the system, it tended to encourage mediocrity and hypocrisy: the mediocre, whose films lacked the professionalism needed to attract a distributor; the hypocritical, who disguised their Canadian locations with such shoddy devices as the faking of street signs and settings to suggest exotic locales.
		A Canadian film - maker was permitted to use certain American "stars“ of varying magnitude (thus presumably helping the box office), but to ensure that home-grown talent was employed, points were credited for the use of Canadian producers, directors, actors, chief cameramen, art directors and so on.
		In spring 1971, a zealous fundamentalist neighbor started an after-school Bible class in her home, and peer pressure was exerted on Bradley to attend.

	Shaft movie info - dvds - Gordon Parks
		This is the genuine original "Shaft" from 1971, with Richard Roundtree, that scored so well with inner-city (read: African-American) audiences that it spawned two sequels and created a new mini-genre, the grudgingly titled "Blaxploitation" films.
		Shaft is a private investigator who is hired by a local crime boss to find his beautiful, vulnerable daughter, who has been kidnapped by a rival ring from New Jersey.
		Shaft is a great 5-star movie, both on its own terms as well as a cultural landmark for the early seventies.

	Shaft (1971)
		Shaft may be the most strong-willed and self-actualised black central character in American film for some time, but the case he finds himself involved in questions none of the complex dynamics of burgeoning racial equality problematised so elegantly by Norman Jewison in In the Heat of the Night under the guise of a murder mystery.
		The combination of these elements provides the film with an edge which gives it that indefinable 'coolness' to which so many films aspire.
		There is visibly more effort to it than the likes of Bullitt, but Shaft has the same cohesion of style, content, and attitude which made the Steve McQueen vehicle so effective.

	Lucasfilm: Pressroom THX 1138: The George Lucas Director's Cut Scheduled for Theatrical Release and DVD Debut
		Made in 1971, THX 1138 marked the stunning debut of one of the screen's most innovative filmmakers and was produced by Francis Ford Coppola and his revolutionary American Zoetrope studios.
		In addition to the film, the DVD release of THX 1138: The George Lucas Director's Cut offers two new documentaries, including A Legacy of Filmmakers: The Early Years of American Zoetrope, a fascinating chronicle of the birth and rise of the radically different independent studio founded by director Francis Ford Coppola.
		Produced at the height of the American independent movement, THX 1138 stars Robert Duvall in a thought-provoking and visually rich exploration of a theme that would repeat itself throughout Lucas's career: One man's quest to realize his own potential amid an oppressive society.

	Science fiction film
		Telotte has chosen four films: THX 1138 (Lucas 1971), Close encounters of the third kind (Spielberg 1977), Robocop (Verhoeven 1987), and The fly (Cronenberg 1986).
		It is a view that sees the American science fiction film as being primarily concerned with the implications for Americans and American society of the "science-technology-reason triad" and the challenges for accepted boundaries implied by it.
		Its discussion of science fiction as fantasy is lucid, as is its explication of various critical perspectives on science fiction films.

	Thriller.html
		Two nail-biting films, both adult shockers, Play Misty for Me (1971) and Fatal Attraction (1987), involved the nightmarish, dangerous consequences of a one-night stand.
		In Hitchcock's films, the main character(s) usually committed a crime or was caught as a victim of circumstance, from which there was the inevitable life and death chase concluding with a showdown at a familiar landmark (for example, London's Albert Hall, the Statue of Liberty, or Mount Rushmore).
		After Hitchcock's classic films of the 1950s, his films were wildly uneven, although he produced the shocking and engrossing thriller Psycho (1960) with the classic set piece (the 'shower scene') and the suspenseful and strangely terrifying The Birds (1963) about a invasion of birds in a N. California coastal town.

	Dennis Hopper - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
		However, Hopper did act in several films during this period such as Mad Dog Morgan (1976), Tracks (1976), The American Friend (1977), Apocalypse Now (1979) and he won acclaim for directing and acting in Out of the Blue (1980).
		Hopper wrote and directed another film that was released in 1971 called The Last Movie that was a box office failure and derailed his career for years.
		Although Hopper was able to resume acting in mainstream films including The Sons Of Katie Elder (1965) and True Grit (1969), in both of these films he had death scenes with John Wayne, it was not until he teamed with Peter Fonda and made Easy Rider that he really shook up the Hollywood establishment.

	Cape Fear (1962)
		It was the first of a subgenre of films that placed the nuclear family and the values of ordinary American decency up against a wall.
		It was also the first of a series of films that confronted the perceived dangers of a liberal justice system that allows too much leniency to criminals, usually involving plots where a psychopath would wield the letter of the law to make life miserable for a decent ordinary protagonist.
		Direct echoes can be found in films like Straw Dogs (1971), Dirty Harry (1971), Fatal Attraction (1987), Pacific Heights (1990), Ricochet (1991), Unlawful Entry (1992) and Just Cause (1995).

	Mario Bava
		Such later Bava films as Antefatto (Bay of Blood) (1971) would predate the trend of American slasher films such as Friday the 13th (1980) by nearly a decade, with Friday and its sequels lifting many elements directly from Bava's film.
		A former painter whose cinematic compositions were often as lush and gorgeous as any portrait, Italian cinematographer turned director Mario Bava developed a reputation as a master celluloid illusionist in addition to creating some of the most gothic and haunting films in Italian cinema history.
		Though Bava's style was unquestionably a key factor in inspiring the films of Dario Argento, the two unfortunately only worked together on one film.

	ipedia.com: Stanley Kubrick Article
		These three films have sparked an enormous amount of controversy over the years, and discussion concerning the themes, deeper meanings, and symbolism used by Kubrick to tell the stories in these movies continues to the present day.
		His next film, A Clockwork Orange (1971), was darker in tone than 2001 (and originally released with an "X" rating), but today is considered to be a masterpiece of science fiction cinema (like Kubrick's previous film).
		However, film scholars believe that if Kubrick had lived to see the film's release, he might have edited the film further; he had edited parts out of both 2001 and The Shining after each of those films had been released to theaters.
